" WILHELM LANGENHEIM, OF DUISBURG, GERMAN Y LUBBICATOR FOR MAIN BEARINGS 0F CENTRIFUGAL BREAKERS.

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed March 17, 1908; Serial No. 421,610.

Patented June 23, 1908.

To all whom it may concern: I a

Be it known that I, WILHELM LANGEN HEIM, a subject of the German Emperor, residing at Duisburg, Germany, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lubricators for the Main Bearmgs of Centrifugal Breakers, of which the fol owingis a specification. This invention relates to an improved lubricator for the foot bearings of centrifugal breakers, by means of which a continuous flow of the lubricant along the surfaces to be lubricated is insured. 4

The accompanying drawin represents a vertical central section of a lubncatorembodying my invention. A stationary main bearing], is provided with a lower oil reservoir f andan upper'oil reservoir e.- Within bearing f, is rotatably mounted a sleeve a, provided with an upper oil reservoir 0, which communicates through port d, with reservoir e. Sleeve a, has an integral miter wheel 6, by means of which the sleeve receives rotary motion. Sleeve a, is eccentrically bored I for the accommodation of shaft 9, which is rotated independently from sleeve a, in suitable manner, and which projects for a conslderable distance below sleeve (1, into reservoir f.

During the operation of the breaker, shaftg, rotates eccentrically in rotating'slccve a. In this way the lower'end of shaft g,- will turn in.reservoi r f, in such manner, that each point of the axis of the shaft describes a circle around the axis of the reservoir. As this movement of shaft 9, takes place with great rapidity, the oil'is forced, by centrifugal action, against the wall of easing f. Owing .to I

f, thus completing the cycle.

I claim:- V J A device of the character described, comprising a stationary bearing having a lower. o1l reservo1r and an upper Oll reservoir, a

sleeve rotatably mounted in-said bearing and having an upper oil chamber that communiso that the oil contained in upper cates with the upper oil reservoir, and a rotaig shaft eccentrically mounted in the sleeve an promoting into the lower oil reservoir,

substantially as specified.
